The Sixers lost a nail-biter of a preseason game that required extra time to arrive at a winner.
Philadelphia dropped their second game without Tyrese Maxey after he put the Summer League on notice in his early showings. Following a rather poor performance against the Boston Celtics, Philadelphia turned around and competed hard against the Minnesota Timberwolves. A back-and-forth game where neither team ever held a double-digit lead, was an excellent opportunity for players to showcase their abilities.
Without their lead creator and facing a somewhat experienced (for Summer League’s standards) Minnesota team, Philadelphia inserted Frank Mason III into the starting lineup.
